6 Steps to teaching the eskimo-roll

[@victorwanders]

As someone trying to learn the roll, this was excellent, great at breaking it down. Please keep up the videos 👊🌊

It's all in the way that you use the oar.While capsized underwater you just rotate your oar and you'll pop up on the other side but it's one complete motion like a propeller. I was amazed at how well it worked while I was at summer camp in 1983. Tellico Plains in eastern Tennessee!

The step 5 really helps. Thx for the video.

"Teaching the 'out-and-away' movement, as you're showing here...will only totally CONFUSE a student...because they can't move their hands into the correct positions (from set-up to sweeping the blade out and away from the boat) WITH THEIR HANDS ABOVE THE BOAT. And anyway this guy isn't close to being ready to have the paddle in his hands...he needs a couple sessions of just doing poolside rolls (or linked hands with a teacher = even better). The hip-snap is the most important movement - obviously, because if that works, you don't even need a paddle. Beginners are usually VERY confused with the rather complex paddle movement that has to happen - actually it's NOT that complex...but it's complex because it's done underwater, upside down, so it seems complex...the student has to be in a place to be able to concentrate on that movement.

What's the difference between a C to C and a sweep roll?

Would be great if you made of video of someone actually learning how to do the roll, instead of failing at multiple steps.
